The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1945 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a crannog site. It is situated in a marshy area on the floor of the Bonet River valley, with a small S-N stream c. 20m to the E. This is a grass-covered oval area (dims 14m E-W; 10m N-S; H 0.1-0.2m) with no visible surface evidence of artificial construction.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
